Great news!

But the numbering for the next release - I don't know - it looks much to complicated. Why can't we suppress the first "2" - lets make it gimp-help-2.4-14.tar.gz. So the naming scheme simply sticks to the GIMP version major.minor and adds our own relase number. We also could consider to "reset" our own release numbers to zero for each new GIMP version. This would make the first release for GIMP 2.4 the gimp-help-2.4.1.tar.gz - this looks best to me!

Hi list,

We did it! I rolled the last manual release for GIMP 2.2 out today, which will be available for download soon (with an announcement and all that jazz).

That means, that we can start documenting GIMP 2.4 features from now on. I think the next release name would be:

gimp-help-2-2.4.14.tar.gz

to have the release number of the GIMP version in the filename. Any suggestions, comments about this?

Greetings, --

I personally agree with Axel (both suggestions). Are there any reasons preventing the "first 2" suppression?

By the way, we should also pay attention to the characters that separate the name from the release number and from the archive extension. I personally would choose a scheme that does not conflict with Linux distros packaging systems (that may add a package number at the end for example).

Greetings.

Hi,

There is already another module in GNOME CVS called gimp-help, which is the 'old' user manual (for GIMP 1.2).

So - I'm not sure if we can easily change our scheme to this. Would be much better indeed.

The choice of the SVN module name is somewhat unfortunate. And it could probably even be changed at some point. Has the gimp-help module been migrated to SVN at all?

Anyway, this shouldn't keep you from using gimp-help as the package name when doing releases. Please go ahead and use gimp-help-2.4.0 for the first gimp-help release targetting GIMP 2.4.
